Living in Chang'an, the control of Jiangnan's family is getting weaker and weaker......

Xiao Yu was a little irritable, feeling that these old guys in the clan not only couldn't see the situation clearly, but also thought too carefully, and said in a solemn tone: "Fang Jun has the power of a great victory, and his momentum is incomparable, even if he does something a little excessive, the court will only think that he is young and vigorous, and he will not be harsh when he is wronged and wants to vent his evil anger." So at this time, you must not provoke Fang Jun, this guy is a mallet, whoever dares to provoke him now must be prepared to swallow the unbearable price! Whatever your family is involved in, you must stop it now! ”

These old guys who have lived in Jiangnan for a long time in the family have always acted from their own perspectives, and they pay attention to the so-called code of conduct agreed between the Jiangnan scholars, which is that no matter how dirty and how they want to kill you in the mainland, they must maintain benevolence, righteousness and morality on the surface, and gain a firm foothold in public opinion.

But Fang Jun will play this game with you?

No one knows Fang Jun's style better than Xiao Yu, who is in Jingshi, and if he provokes me, he will call back! What reason, what law, what public opinion, all are not in his consideration! If the Jiangnan Shi clan can give Fang Jun full respect on the surface, but only secretly plotting interests through small means, maybe Fang Jun can still play with you and break his wrists.

But if he dares to pull the tiger's chin and pull his beard, he can be unscrupulous and do anything!

Do you really think that this thing doesn't dare to kill people when his brain is hot?

Maybe Xiao Yu's warning was too harsh, or maybe Fang Jun's combat power in the battle of Niu Zhuji was too fierce, several clan elders nodded and acquiesced to Xiao Yu's opinion.

Xiao Yu was a little relieved, was silent for a while, and said: "From now on, my family will not only not oppose Fang Jun, but also support him as much as possible." Uncles, Li Tang's rivers and mountains are solid, day by day, the situation is not what it used to be, the situation of the former Sui Dynasty being unable to manage Jiangnan is long gone, and if you continue to fight against the imperial court, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

He had to remind the elders of the family in such a tone.

As a century-old family, even if Xiao Yu has the blood of the Southern Liang royal family and is the patriarch of the Xiao family, it is impossible to make a decision on major matters in the clan. Even if they are clan elders, they are all middle-aged and virtuous people in the clan, and some even Xiao Yu, who has a gray beard, has to respectfully call him "Uncle Zu", among the wealthy families whose generations and bloodlines are particularly important, it is impossible for him not to respect these clan elders.

It's a pity that his words were not listened to by several clan elders......

It's just a matter of not provoking Fang Jun, but also to give support?

Are you kidding!

There is even a trembling clan elder who relies on the old and sells the old: "Shiwen, the Jingshi is rich and beautiful, but he is also powerful everywhere, and it is inevitable to look forward and worry about ordinary actions." Since it's hard to go back to the ancestral home, it's good to enjoy the warmth of the countryside, and put aside those trivial things for the time being. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, she was almost so angry that she spit out a mouthful of old blood! Is this a mockery that I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and I have lost all my guts?

But he stared dryly, but he couldn't do it!

He could slap the table and stare at the patriarchs of the rest of the Jiangnan Shi clan, but he couldn't have the slightest disrespect with these clan elders...... There's no way, the old man is too tall and too old, I think that when he Xiao Yu was still playing with urine in the palace in Nanliang, this little Ding Ding who played him was ......

Another clan elder next to him said lightly: "Shi Wen, everyone knows that you have always acted cautiously, but you don't need to be too timid. Although Fang Jun won this battle, he also offended everyone ruthlessly. Our Xiao family doesn't participate, just watching the families deal with Fang Jun, is this okay? ”

What else can Xiao Yu say?

Fang Jun went south and made it clear that he was snatching food from the bowl of the Jiangnan Shi clan. These old things value the interests of their mouths more than their lives, how can they give up so easily?

Xiao Yu was helpless, so she could only pray that her family would not get too involved in dealing with Fang Jun, causing Fang Jun's revenge......

*****

Fushan Village is located in the north of Haiyu Town, close to the river, is the waterway convergence of Haiyu Town and Suzhou counties, all kinds of commodities and materials are here to leave and enter the port, very prosperous.

On the east side of the port of Fushan Village, hundreds of ships are parked, stretching for miles, which is very eye-catching. Su Dingfang stood on the dock at the moment, looking at the continuous warships and merchant ships on the shore, large and small, and let out a long breath.

Since arriving in Haiyu Town, the news that Fang Jun was besieged by Niu Zhuji came, and the whole fleet was panicked. If the boss dies in battle like this, will the big guy be disbanded on the spot, or will he return to Guanzhong?

Many people clamored to go up the river to kill Benniu Zhuji and support Fang Jun, but they were all strongly appeased by Su Dingfang. Haiyu Town is separated by half a river from Niuzhuji, and it is going upstream, and it can't be reached without ten days and a half months of effort, and it is very likely that Fang Jun will not be saved in a panic......

Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian both smelled the strong conspiracy behind this matter, if they didn't say that the Jiangnan Shi clan was not involved, they wouldn't believe it. If you go up the river in a panic, you will be plotted by the Jiangnan Shi clan and capsize in the gutter.

All they could do was to hope that Fang Jun would escape and come here to join them. Therefore, to strengthen vigilance, we must not give the suspicious Jiangnan Shi clan an opportunity. Haiyu Town is an important town of the three Wu, the Wu surname Shi clan gathers, up and down are the ears and eyes of the Jiangnan Shi clan, and one may fall into a place of no return.

But even if Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian are cautious, they have suffered enough in this land of Sanwu......

The most serious is the loss of all kinds of materials, especially wood and iron.

In order to build ships, Fang Jun joined forces with Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, to cut down giant trees from the upper reaches of the river, and let them down the river to reach Suzhou. But when the timber arrives here, it is picked up from the river and hoarded on the shore, but it is stolen in large quantities......

Even if Pei Xingjian formulates a strict patrol system, it is not to be used.

The porters, boatmen, and the officials of the government, the tax collectors, and even the porters and officials...... Complicity, a nest of snakes and rats, stealing in every possible way, it is simply impossible to prevent it!

In more than ten days, Su Dingfang almost lost his hair with gray hair!

However, as the news of Fang Jun's victory spread throughout Jiangnan, the situation finally changed, and the arrogant officials and local ruffians who had been arrogant and domineering in the past all disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by silence and cold observation.

The river is agitated, the boats are connected, the blue waves are rippling, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Pei Xingjian came behind Su Dingfang and said in a low voice: "Master, it's clear." ”

Su Dingfang turned around, looked solemn, and asked, "How?" ”

Pei Xingjian sighed and said, "It is indeed the work of various families. In order to exterminate the rebellious people in Shanyue, they hunted and killed a large number of Jiangdong people, saying that Niu Zhuji was ruined, and even the river water was stained red by the blood of the people of Jiangdong...... The common people don't distinguish between truth and falsehood, and now they all regard Hou Ye and our subordinates as beasts of the flood and avoid them. ”

Su Dingfang snorted coldly: "These families must have been beaten by Hou Ye, so they fabricated such rumors to slander Hou Ye's reputation, so as to divide the relationship between the people of Jiangdong and us, making it difficult for us to move an inch in Jiangnan." Hmph, it's really insidious! ”

"But it works!" Pei Xingjian looked sad: "Now the people of Jiangdong are like talking about us, and they are not even willing to sell us for daily consumption such as eating and eating, and they have to raise the price twice to buy it." In the long run, it will be difficult! ”

Eating and so on is a trivial matter, and it is a big deal to transport it from elsewhere by water. But after Fang Jun arrives in a few days, the construction of the wharf, the shipyard, and the preparation for the construction of the city will be put on the agenda, and without the support of the local people, these will be doubly difficult.

Do even the workers who built the wharves have to be brought in from elsewhere?

The Jiangnan Shi clan's method of ruining their reputation was like drawing wages from the bottom of a kettle, which did bring them great difficulties.

Su Dingfang just glanced at Pei Xingjian, and said lightly: "You are the long history of the City Shipping Division, how the City Shipping Division prepares and how the dock is built, that's your business." The position of a certain is the governor of the navy, and he is only responsible for training the troops, so he has to count these trivial things on a certain person, and then go to his own troubles, what does it have to do with me? ”

Pei Xingjian was dumbfounded.

You are my master!

This also ...... Shameless, right?
